Coordinate the troffer with the ceiling
- Check grid module, fixture dimensions and available ceiling depth.
- Review distribution and glare at desks or counters.
- Confirm driver access and any emergency or control options.

BEFORE YOU ORDER
Confirm model-specific requirements before ordering.
Both may be used in grid ceilings, but their housing depth, optics and mounting details differ. Compare the exact fixture dimensions, distribution and above-ceiling clearance.
Verify the actual grid opening, fixture dimensions and installation instructions. Nominal size is a starting point, not a fit guarantee.
Only when the model and a compatible surface-mount system support that installation. A recessed fixture should not be fastened using improvised hardware.
Choose the listed settings to suit the lighting layout and neighboring fixtures. Record the final settings consistently for each room or zone.
Confirm driver protocol, control wiring, sensor inclusion and access for commissioning. A sensor interface does not establish that the sensor is supplied.
